It's happened to me during the Ferengi multi-ball as well.

I don't really think it has to do with how many balls are on the screen as I have had the Final Frontier mission work properly a couple of times, but unfortunately, the bug happens more often than not. I have noticed that sometimes I can get out of it by rapidly changing the camera angles.

On a related note (working around certain bugs), anyone having intermittent trouble with the ball launchers functioning when they're supposed to, here's a little tip that may help you out until they fix that. Right before you enter a sequence where you need to use the ball launchers, pause and resume the game. I haven't had any problems with them at all since I started doing this. This will also cure the problem of sometimes getting the wrong selection in Holodeck mode, as well as having the cursor in Poker with Riker sometimes continuously selecting and un-selecting your cards.

I suspect whatever is causing this behavior is also responsible for the pre-plunge selection troubles and Command Decision auto-starting on occasion.
